Celebrate autumn at IMG Show Pre-party with benefit for your brain and soul

Summer is coming to an end, but the most interesting things in the world of MICE and business travel are ahead! We have missed you a lot and are waiting for you at IMG Show Pre-party, a party that is to be held on September 14th.

The event will take place at one of the newest venues of Moscow - on the 58th floor of Empire tower of Moscow City. There are panoramic windows, a lot of air and light, it is just nice to be there, and of course, the food is great.

The venue in Empire tower is the Laboratory of the future, this is why we have come to the conclusion that it is an ideal place to tell everyone about what awaits IMG Show participants. This time not only we, but the venue itself will prepare surprises for the guests: organizers of this cultural and educational platform, who also run the scientific and creative residence Tchekhov APi believe that the best rest is the time spent to the benefit of your brain and soul, so you can fully rely on them in the questions of educational content development. Of course, the entertainment part will also take a rightful place in the event schedule.

We invite to Pre-party those who register at the website www.imgshow.ru not later than September 10th: professional buyers and agencies. Participation will also be available to a limited number of exhibitors.

IMG Show is useful, beautiful and delicious

The closing gala ceremony of IMG Show 2018 will be held in Loft Hall, where the guests can discuss their impressions of the educational part in an informal atmosphere, try the cuisine and see the interiors of the amazing loft. A nice surprise of the evening is makeup by Estee Lauder.

We sincerely believe that business events should be not only useful, but also pleasant. Our partners and guests devote a considerable part of their life to work, and of course, we want our work to bring us joy. Therefore, we always try to create an atmosphere people are glad to find themselves in, to invite them to places we are willing to return to ourselves.

This year we discovered a new venue - Loft Hall in Leninskaya Sloboda street in Moscow. We liked absolutely everything here, starting from its location: "For the past few years Leninskaya Sloboda street where the Loft Hall is located has gained a look of an ultra fashionable quarter of a European capital - you notice it already on the way to the venue. The Loft Hall itself, I would say, is a concentrated continuation of this impression", chief customer officer of ABT-ACTE Russia Nikolay Tsaplin says. It is cosy inside: dimpled brick walls, large windows, a view of the river and a huge fireplace that will come in very useful on an October evening. The representatives of the Loft Hall mention in their materials that when they were developing their project, they took into account not only special aspects of Russian history and architecture but also the needs of modern customers who "are tired of same-looking halls". "The main thing about any idea is what it may change in our conscience", the representatives of the company say. It was proved by personal experience that it was possible to achieve this goal - after visiting the Loft Hall, Nikolay changed his point of view on his own home interior: "It was evident that the owners did not save on a designer and exclusive hand-made furniture, and I would not refuse to have some interior elements in my home, of course. One chest of drawers has sunk so deep into my mind, that I have started saving money to buy a similar one!", he admits.

The cuisine of the Loft Hall also helps you attain harmony with yourself and the world around you. We also believe that fancy canapes served on wooden plates, a duck salad with raspberry dressing, a pine bolete julienne in a bag of a crispy pancake and mussels with tomato concasse is the best way to enhance business relations between our partners, providers and customers.

And in order to make you feel very well, before dinner all the guests will have an opportunity to freshen their make-up with the help of Estee Lauder make-up designers.

How we arranged registration on the basis of face recognition and what other options are available?

Denis Klementyev, Head of special projects, Orange Business Services

Registration systems: expert judgement

Andrey Gusakov, Marketing expert of Data Forum

What is a horror triangle for event planners and what is the way to eliminate it? Who is a "hostage" in our industry and how to release him?

There will be curious facts and real case studies that will make you take a new look at some issues.

Phygital. Trends in impressions marketing. What technologies are efficient and feasible?

Ekaterina Kovaleva, co-founder and PR director of Hello Computer

What are the ways to surprise your event guests? Entertainment on the edge of realities creates a WOW effect, involves guests into an unusual contact with technologies and transfers them into the future. Do you still think it is something far-fetched and requires exorbitant budgets? We will show you that Phygital is affordable and efficient.

Medical congresses: what can you learn from pharmaceutical companies?

Larissa Tishevskaya, Development manager of International Conference Services, USA and Europe; Managing director and partner of Arena Destination Marketing

Trends that influence event planning and arrangement. New ways of event arrangement with the examples of several international congresses. Evolution of the profession of an event planner. Ideas and tools that let you reach a completely new quality of event implementation.

One of the quickest and most popular world techniques of development of all kinds of projects has proved to be very useful for event planning. The tools of empathy and immersion into visitor experience, as well as quick prototyping and inexpensive tests of ready-made solutions will suit the taste of Russian event planners. How does it work? It will be explained by Maria Stashenko, a famous practical expert and evangelist of the design thinking method on the example of a global meeting of design thinkers from all over the world Design Thinking Camp, which will be organized by Wonderfull Lab team in Moscow.

MICE industry loves visually. Addressing video content.

Sergey Dunaev, Managing partner of Multiways

How to spoil an event video? How to fill a selling video with cool content. How many persons are engaged in making a 90-second video? The budget is spent, but the video is necessary – the way out.

Life hacks from professionals.

Hall II (in Russian, without simultaneous interpreting)

Intellectual art warm-up

Aleksey Pashkov, historian, author of courses on the history of art

We will “warm up the brain” and solve several picturesque riddles. To start with, we will try to get into Surikov`s creative lab: we will have to guess, what impressions – sometimes absolutely occasional ones – induced ideas of his pictures. Then we will rack our brains on Vasnetsov`s frise “Stone age” and look for historic mistakes in it.

By the way, as for historic mistakes, there are enough of them in Bryullov`s Last Day of Pompeii. So Bryullov will have a lot to bear, too.

Then we will rack our brain on the meaning of Moscow Courtyard by Polenov: this painting is not so simple as it may seem, as well.

And finally, we will solve several riddles about Russian rulers who played the key role in the destiny of Moscow. It will be interesting and informative!

Interactive session: the image of Moscow

Moderator: Mila Sidorina, Marketing director of Vipservice

What souvenirs do you bring from your trips? We think that postcards from different countries and cities are on trend, so we will join our efforts to create a MICE postcard of the capital.

The designer will demonstrate the image visualization technique, from idea to picture. Then we will make a MICE postcard together with the artist.
